McCune's stats

[jrocx69]

the knock on him by all the experts of why he went in the 5th round was his age at 26. he is in his prime now and thats why i would like him to play very soon.

Personally, I love the guy already and can't wait to see him develope under Williams. He's a monster of an athelete and a guy with his character will work himself to the bone getting mentally prepared for every game. I don't think he'll be ready to start for us right away, but I'm hoping by mid- to late-season he'll be our #1 MLB.

I doubt he'll play this year, but if he comes along quick, I'd love to see him on the field!

Perhaps one advantage McCune -- a corporal -- has over other rookies is not being intimidated by Williams's military-style approach. "It's really kind of comical," Williams said, "[to think] that I can put more stress [on him] than he's been under."

I think that this aspect will also help him get a grip on the shcem of things, he wont be stressed out as much...

[offiss]

The question is how does all his physical prowess translate to the football field, Brock Lesner is a physical freak and what is he doing these day's? McCune has everything you want off the field it's his on the field abilities that concern me.

Just curious - how is Williams style military. He tells them coming in you're all the same. That's a far cry from the military where you're shit when you come in (unless of course you came from ROTC -> College route and come in as an officer).

Even if he doesn't start right away, he'll be a beast on wheels for the special teams. I look for that unit to be pretty damn tough this year.

I am not sure I never had the pleasure of playing for Williams, I just went by what was in the article, I guess maybe because Williams rarely starts rookies and how he coaches with "tough love" method.

[Daseal]

Our special teams was spotty last year. Sometimes great, sometimes extremely poor. I don't know if that's either good coaching with bad players, or bad coaching with good players.

One person who played very well on special teams but didn't seem to get much recognition was Sean Taylor. I saw him throw his whole body into the wedge taking out three of their guys with one hit.

does the military test their recruits for steroids?

[BigSKINBauer]

i say that he just covers recievers down field just for the hell of it

[mooby]

i expect this guy to give lemar marshall as much as he can handle for the starting job at middle linebacker. he is a physical freak. he will make a great special teams player also. when i read his downsides on that article above, i didn't see anything gregg williams can't fix.

[GoSkins!]

Williams will find a way to get this guy in for a few reps to terrorize the offense. Williams is good at putting guys into positions that they can handle.

if williams can fine tune his skills mccune is a pro-bowler. i like him at ethier de or mlb. if barrows comes back 100% and mccune can pass rush we're golden

You're joking, right? I think McCune's going to be a great addition to the squad. Still, don't you think that it's going a bit far to say that a late-round draft pick who has yet to play one down in the NFL merely needs to be "fine tune[d]" to become a pro bowler?
